Is it a Rattlesnake Plant? It could me lime in the water. I would try watering with distilled water.

Ok

And it is a Goeppertia leopardina plant

probably is a humidity issue, these plants are tropical and like to have higher humidity in the air. the most effective ways to get that is to run a small humidifier right near it, but if you cant do that, try putting a tray with pebbles and water underneath it in the meantime.
